BEN RHODES EARN EIGHTH TOP-10 OF THE SEASON AT MICHIGAN INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY IN TOUGH RACE

“It was a little bit of a weird race today here at Michigan International Speedway. Strategies were all over the place, passing was different and somewhat uncharacteristic of the truck series in some ways. Unfortunately for us, I got up to the front right before Stage 2, running third. We had to come from the back multiple times, but I honestly feel like our Carolina Nut Co. Ford F-150 was one of the strongest trucks in the whole field today. It came down to track position. You had to have some luck on your side today.”
